FASTER PROFICIENCY. BETTER RETENTION. SUCCESS PROVEN.

GrapeSEED follows the principles of Natural Language Acquisition, helping students gain confidence and English fluency by using the continual language acquisition processes of exposure, comprehension, use, and reinforcement.

WE CALL IT

The GrapeSEED Way

There is an optimal time to learn English — and that time is early childhood when the brain and other muscles are still developing.

There is an optimal way of learning as well, a way that we’ve developed that is specific to how children learn naturally. Its design and development were complex, but its execution is elegantly simple and straightforward.

Both students and teachers succeed:

Teacher Components

At GrapeSEED, we know a variety of teaching tools are needed to assist children when learning a language. Every curriculum component has a purpose, and together, they make a rich language learning opportunity.

Learn how each curriculum component intentionally aids in the teaching of each GrapeSEED student.

ACTION ACTIVITIES

Kids love to move! These action-packed activities are written to teach vital instructions, classroom commands, and action verbs.

SONGS

Behold the power of music, as these fun and engaging short songs with illustrations are used to teach vocabulary, language functions, and pronunciation. Combined with pictures and natural gestures, songs increase understanding of new language concepts.

CHANTS

STORIES

Daily repetition with comprehension over an extended period of time is a key part of the language acquisition process - stories give this opportunity. Stories expand students’ English vocabulary and language functions with different types of sentence structures.

VOCABULARY PICTURE CARDS

PHONOGRAM CARDS

Students learn the sounds of the English language and how they come together to make words - the foundation for reading. Air writing helps students learn the stroke order, name, and sound of each letter.

STORY DICTIONARIES

Reading stories engages students in discussion, which builds their ability to communicate and improves confidence. Each Unit includes a story dictionary which reinforces the vocabulary words and language functions learned in the previous Unit.
